I finally saw some warmth and hope in the play: Mary is the only sincere person in the group who wears a mask of hypocrisy and gives Patrick enough love and patience. She sees through many things but doesn't say anything, but she has a sense of boundaries. When Patrick tried to break free again and again and failed again, he became a replica of his cruel father again and again; when she thought that Patrick's behavior threatened the child, this cruelty would be passed down from generation to generation; unlike Patrick's mother, she bravely stood up draw a line. if you don't change, then you have to leave
When I finally got through the weight-bearing E1-2 and the depression caused by the mania and shrewdness of the drug addict played by Benny, I succeeded in detoxification in E3, and I gathered up the courage to tell my friend Johnny that he was raped by his father many times when he was a child. After meeting the big drug lord Willy Chilly, he found that he also changed his mind, "Everything is a miracle, it's a miracle we don't melt in the bath like a piece of soap. Speaking of which, both of them showed that they had climbed out of the darkness. He was relieved and relaxed, thinking that it would be a beautiful spring of reform, but Patrick was still repeating the malignant character of the Melrose family.
Elena, Patrick's mother, hated the most in the whole show. Wife Mary thought her mother-in-law Elena didn't know everything, and encouraged Patrick to tell his mother what his father did when he was a child. Patrick said in a hoarse and choked voice that when he was often raped by his father, Elena was so ordinary that he said expressionlessly: me too.

She was very cowardly, did not dare to fight and say "no", and always found various excuses to stay in this marriage, even though she was the aristocrat who inherited the property. In fact, think about it from another angle. Although she and Patrick's father are a marriage of a powerful and well-known writer, she has indeed been fascinated by his talent. During the days when he liked him, Patrick's father adopted various manipulation and Control and suppress Elana's mother's confidence to the lowest level: if he is angry, Elana stepped on the fallen figs, he asks her to kneel and pick them up one by one with her mouth; if she wants to appease sitting alone in the corridor Inside, Patrick, who looked very lonely, just said not to condone a mischievous child, sit down, and she sat down obediently. Is it PUA?
To protect my little heart, never see again??!
